Managing interference for stabilization over wireless channels

The remote stabilization of a first order linear plant over a wireless channel is studied. The plant is assumed to have an arbitrary distributed initial state and the wireless channel between the plant's sensor and the controller is modeled as a white Gaussian channel subject to an external interference signal. In order to combat the interference a dedicated sensor (relay) node is deployed adjacent to the interferer, which relays the interference information to both the plant's sensor and the controller. The sensor and the controller utilize this information to mitigate interference. We use delay-free linear sensing and control scheme in order to derive sufficient conditions for mean square stability. The achievable stability region significantly enlarges with the relay assisted interference cancelation scheme. Moreover the effect of interference can be completely eliminated if the encoder knows all the future values of the interference.
